It certainly can be. And there's always a possibility that a mole or sleeper agent could slip through the cracks, and/or that Dom could disappear and we'd be left without a failsafe.
I honestly don't know how to best tackle the whole quandary though. A good majority of the reason this community's managed to survive this well and for so long is because of the fairly hands-off approach, with fairly minimal rules and restrictions.
Unfortunately, at the same time, all it takes is one or two really motivated and persistent buggers to muck things up. And that can apply to our recent pests as well as to any potential new moderators.
Maybe before making any major changes we should see if there's any unexplored measures we can take to properly silence and/or remove those pests indefinitely. Explore options with Scored admins, or possibly some automated/scripted moderator tools if that's feasible with this site's API.
